What is Tycoon Cut?

The Tycoon Cut is a design of a diamond that was created in 1999 by the
two Toros Kejejian cousins.The design holds four international patents.

The Tycoon Cut is a simple design with 9 crown facets and 20 step-cut pavilion facets.
The cut has has a signature diamond shaped table that has earned the trademark slogan:
“THE ONLY DIAMOND WITH A DIAMOND ON TOP”.

The first rule in design is “Less is More” and that is the magic of the Tycoon Cut:
It is a very simple design.

There are many cuts available today on the market. Unlike some other cuts, the
uniqueness of the Tycoon Cut is that it's visible to the naked eye.

The Tycoon Cut design adds more fire and brilliance to the diamond. The step-cut
pavilion design allows the color to show higher then actuality. The 9 crown facets
design hides inclusions better then the traditional square table.

The Tycoon Cut diamond is available in the following shapes: Rectangular, Tapered,
Square, Trapezoid, and Cut-corner. It is also available in a variety of gem stones: Blue
Sapphire, Pink Sapphire, Yellow Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald and Tanzanite.

Every Tycoon Cut diamond, 0.50 carat or larger, is serial numbered, GIA graded,
and laser inscribed to ensure authenticity of the Tycoon Cut diamond.

GIA was quick to recognize Tycoon Cut as a major contributor to the diamond industry.
In 2003, the Kejejian cousins won a prestigious GIA League of Honor award. The first
Tycoon Cut diamond is on display in GIA's museum and a GIA classroom is named
after the cut.
